Google Searches Warn Against Hacked Web Sites

"Rest assured, once the problem has been fixed, the warning label will be automatically removed from our search results, usually in a matter of days," explains Gideon Wald, an associate product manager at Google. "You can also request a review of your site to accelerate removal of the notice."

Google's new warning is one more additional security layer for its customers. The company already warns its search-engine users that "This site may harm your computer" when it detects a Web site hosting malware.

According to Google's Help Center, "In both cases, our detection might not be perfect -- we continually work on improving our system -- but it would be wise to proceed with caution."
